If you were a trip advisor for where you live, what would you highlight as the best attractions in your area?

This would be easier for me if I still lived in Florida. I'm not a big fan of Oklahoma, so I'm probably a terrible guide here. But this is what I'd say:

In Oklahoma, I'd say there are some good "hole in the wall" restaurants. My favorite is the Japanese restaurant, Tokyo.

The OKC Civic Center sometimes has decent shows and some aren't that expensive. (I've found some great Groupons for some shows).

We have a racetrack/casino. I don't care for gambling, but I sometimes like to watch the horses run. There is also the Riverwind casino, which gets a lot of big name performers traveling through. So does Chesapeake Energy Arena.

As a small, inexpensive thing to do, there is a comedy club near me.

There are some interesting Escape Games in the area for a group thing.

Also, Top Golf is fun for just hanging out and smashing balls with a golf club. You try to hit the targets.

Lake Hefner is OK to walk around. I'm having trouble finding a lot of beautiful places to walk around in Oklahoma. The botanical gardens here are ... ok, if you're bored. Pretty sparse for the $7-8 bucks you have to pay to get in. I'm spoiled by the one I used to go to in Orlando, I guess.

Of course, the Downtown areas have bars. Horse and carriage rides. Little boat rides in the canal. I haven't done much there. It's not my scene.

How about where you live?

I can't speak for where I'm at now but for London England, all the usual suspects are worthy but taking the bus and sightseeing from the upper deck front seat is the best.
The bus service in London is world class. You'll see so many hidden gems and architecture.
Also thanks about to relocate to Oklahoma City in a few days. Good to know what's around.

I live in central New Jersey - Edison, to be exact. Yup, right in Menlo Park, where the lightbulb was invented (after that, Thomas Edison moved up to West Orange - we don't talk about that). On the spot where his lab stood is a hugh tower with a giant lightbulb on top. I live half a mile away and have never been to it.

What else is there to do here? Well, for the most part, it's very much a suburb. Lots of single-family housing developments and garden apartments, and other than the fact that most of the streets are walkable, you pretty much have to drive to get to any businesses. We do have a few nice municipalities in the area with beautiful downtowns, nice shopping and restaurants and historic homes. Also some venues with some great regional theater. Other than that, a bevy of shopping malls and big-box stores.

That being said, where I live is very centrally located to other things. I'm half an hour from the Jersey shore, half an hour from the mountains. Four major highways - Garden State Parkway, NJ Turnpike, US Route 1, and US Route 287 - as well as the Northeast Corridor, the major train line between DC-Philadelphia-NYC-Boston - cross in the area within a few miles of each other. I can be in midtown Manhattan by commuter train in 40 minutes.

Historically, I live in the middle of the Pays de Rohan. Yup, I live in the origin of the Riders of Rohan country.....castles, hills, forests and miles of walking, biking and running countryside.

Melbourne, Australia from the Dandenong Range to the Great Ocean Road, north to Echuca and the paddle steamers. Start at downtown and Flinders Street station, amazing public transport... there isn't enough space available to list all there is to do and see here.

Maybe a few in St. Louis. I haven't lived there since age 13 but I do visit sometimes. My area right now has a restaraunt called Uncle Ernie's. It's new and re-built. Not much around here as my area has about 1200 people. I shop 5 miles away and work 12 miles away. Unless you go somewhere else you had best look to yourself for entertainment. None of this bothers me but I do remember that my ex didn't like it very well. Now she is 41 miles away in an area more to her liking.
If it excites you I'm not far from Meremac Caverns and Onandaga Cave.
